I have narrowed down my new ski to these two. I will be skiing 50/50 park and all mountain. I am 170 bs 5'10".

you're a fool.

walls are by far the better ski, tons of pop and life, solid dimensions for both park and all mountain, just the right amount of stiffness to do everything. oh, and theyre lighter weight, and a better ski.

They ski totally differently. I always hated the PE but the Extreme is nice and lively. Both make really nice skis for what you're looking for. I preferred the Walls just slightly.

couple of my friends broke 2 pairs of walls each skiing them for only a few days each pair. on one pair the base was like separating in the middle where that black stuff ends. idk if they fixed that stuff for 09 but they walls were sick when they werent waiting for them in the mail they said.

walls for sure. symetrical for park, stiff enough for all mountain. and crazy light. if your looking at walls maybe check out reno rockers. 92 under foot to help in fresh snow and rockered. but still symetrical

Yeah...WAYYY too heavy for park. I don't know how Sean Pettit, PK Hunder, Matt Margetts and Frank Raymond can even jump on those things!! Let alone even turn them. It must be photoshop trickery we see:)
